spark screen should be visible through the exhaust port or over it however you want to install it as long as it would be functional and forest service approved. it must have the factory true carb with the choke intact and functioning as a everyday work saw would.modify it however you want as long as it functions correctly.

I knew I shouldnt have gone to bed last night
Sling'r does some real good work for sure.I was going to say, customs would probably end up keeping your saw till next June. haha
Wish I had a little more time behind the dremel. Im scared to grind my favorite work saw!
So machining is allowed? And are you gonna pull mufflers to check the bore?

Sling'r... who's sendin you a saw??
I have a spare jug, in case someone runs across a 365, or SLIPS with the grinder... :taped:
If you guys need saws, I have a 371xp up for sale and will have 2 372's for sale here soon. I'm not interested in trades, loaning them, or having port work done! They aren't gonna be dirt cheap either as I have some time and money invested in them.
I sold the 371 to another member and he didn't like it. I took it apart and found the cylinder to be a little iffy with some small flakes of nikasil missing below the ports. It ran great when it left and the jug was nice.....but anyway, I put a really nice 50mm jug on it this past weekend and a new OEM ring (has a Meteor piston). It is running sweet! New seals, bearings and a bunch of other stuff.
As for the 372's. I almost have one done. It has new seals, bearings, handlebar and a few other goodies. It has a 50mm bore, but the topend is from forester. The kit actually looks really nice and I put in OEM rings. Carb is a Zama. The other 372 will be arriving soon, it supposedly runs fine and just needs some TLC.
Lastly, I don't see why the jonsered line shouldn't be included, they are the same saw besides plastics, paint and air filter.

The Forest Service here will not approve a muffler that has been modified at all, even if it has spark arrest screens installed. They only allow stock mufflers.
the foresters around here are pretty easy going and as long as i have my screens installed they dont say much. i have had them kid me about how loud my saws are. i actually had park rangers looking for me becouse they thought i was cutting on park property. i was logging a 50 acre tract next door to them and boy they get really pissy when they think your on there land.lol

The funny thing about these type of ventures though, is that guys whos race saws which did not cut it at the cant GTGs officially become called "work saws" when in reality they would never make it day in and day out in a demanding production oriented enviorment. Mine are never the fastest, but safe and productive.

Good to hear.
glad your getting in on this fun simon, im going to be all giddy with so many different highly regarded builders saws at my gtg. its going to be like the whos who of work saw builders.lol i think maybe we should get some red carpet for the operator to walk down .
24" bar and chain cuttiing 18-22" wood depends on what i have available at the gtg time. but it will be hard wood logs not square cants. i want this to be real work saws that a man could make a living with.
Excellent. This is going to be quite the good time.
i think a 372 would puke out and die after a week of cutting the wood that i cut with a 32" bar. i tend to go bigger saw when i need that much bar on a costant basis. i tend to run the 70cc class saw on up to an average of 24-32" timber(eastern hardwoods) i may be wrong but thats what seems to work best and last longest for outfits around here.
